KNOW GMO VLOG: GMO WITH LEGO
KNOW IDEAS MEDIA Published on 24 Nov 2017
Lego is quite simply Nick's favorite thing, so he's naturally going to come up with reasons to play with it for work. This video is the result of Nick's pathological interest in Lego, and his work in science communication. Lego, and the instruction booklets that come with every set make an excellent analogy to explain how and why scientists engineer the genes of plants and other organisms.
PLEASE NOTE: This analogy is not 100% perfect. Genetic Engineering is complicated, and in certain areas this analogy falls apart. A very thoughtful scientist told me to tell you all that first generation GE crops had random location gene insertion (but fully characterized). Next generation GE crops have targeted insertion sites, and this analogy deals with the latter.

Rob turns Nick towards some interesting facts about humanity's history of altering the food nature provides. Nick learns about corn sex, and how our observation's of how it works lead us to the modern version of corn we depend on so much.
